We have to fight - Amorim concedes Man Utd are being dragged into relegation battle

Ruben Amorim acknowledged Manchester United are "being dragged into a relegation battle" after their 2-0 loss to Newcastle United, marking their fourth defeat in five league games.

Amorim, whose tenure has seen the club suffer five losses in eight matches, conceded the team is in "one of the more difficult moments in the history of Manchester United." Despite the challenges, he insisted he would not change his approach, emphasizing the need for "honesty" in addressing the situation.

United are now in 14th place, their lowest position at the year's turn since 1989. Amorim also explained substituting Joshua Zirkzee after 33 minutes, saying, "It was really tough for me," but the decision was crucial for the team's balance.
